Which insect is known for its migration of thousands of miles between North America and Mexico?
Show answer
Monarch Butterfly
Monarch butterflies are famous for their multi-generational migration across North America to reach specific overwintering sites in Mexico. Interestingly, while the journey south is completed by a single "super generation" that lives up to eight months, the return trip takes three to four generations to finish.
